Solve for y. The slope is .
Pick any point on the line. Vertical change is 5 units down, and horizontal change is 3 units to the right. That is also a point on the line.
Alternatively, pick any place or point on the line; move 5 units up, and move 3 units to the left. This is also a point on the line.
